In today's episode, we sit down with Clare Morell, author and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, to discuss the overwhelming negative effects that screens are having on our children. Clare explains the difference between passive and active screens, and how while one is worse than the other, neither can really be called "good" for children. She even goes so far as to argue that the proper amount of screen time for children is none at all! And while we know “CoComelon” is frying babies' brains, is it actually worse than we thought?

Today, we're going over the recent "Jubilee" debate between Jordan Peterson and 20 atheists. We go over Peterson's arguments and offer some biblical answers to the atheists' arguments. We go over some of Peterson's great answers and give a grounded, Christian response to his not-so-great responses. But why would "Jubilee" initially title the video "1 Christian vs 20 Atheists," only to change it to "Jordan Peterson vs 20 Atheists" later? And was this really a good debate for Jordan Peterson?

Our prayers are with the whole Robertson family. Later, we get into some lighthearted pop culture news, like Demi Lovato's wedding this past weekend, where she looked absolutely stunning! And two more Hollywood elites are talking positively about motherhood in recent interviews, which we love to see.

In today's episode, we sit down with Elliston Berry, a teen whose classmate shared AI-generated nude deepfakes of her and seven other girls, and her mother, Anna, to discuss the events leading up to the now-signed Take It Down Act. Elliston shares her story with us and tells us how she learned of the images and how the student sharing them was eventually caught. She and her mom also tell us about how Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wrote the Take It Down Act, which passed both the House and the Senate with near-unanimous support. And Anna shares valuable wisdom for parents when facing challenging situations like this one. This episode is brought to you by Olive, the app built for the MAHA movement.

In today's installment of our Wellness Wednesday series, we talk with Dr. Daniel Amen, psychiatrist and and founder of Amen Clinics, about ADHD and mental illness treatments in the United States. He tells us about the seven different types of ADHD that he has seen in his clinics as well as some of the potential causes and treatments beyond medication that are available. And are young boys being over-medicalized just for being rambunctious boys, or is there a real rise in ADHD diagnoses? Lastly, we pick Dr. Amen's brain, no pun intended, on marijuana and mushroom use in adolescents and just how harmful it can be.

We talk about the nature of evil in this world and how God uses even the most heinous acts to point back to Him and His goodness. We also discuss the popularity of the true crime genre, particularly among women, and explore why people are drawn to such darkness.

Episode 191: Diagnosis of ADHDFuture Dr. Granat explains how to diagnose Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. She explained the influence of social media in increasing awareness of ADHD. Dr. Arreaza added input about the validated tools for ADHD diagnosis and highlighted the importance of expert evaluation for the diagnosis of this disorder.  Written by Yen Stephanie Granat, MSIV. Ross University School of Medicine. Comments and editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Steph: I love podcasts—many of us do—and if you, like me, spend any amount of your leisure time listening to podcasts, perusing the news, or scrolling social media; you've likely noticed an alarming trend in the number of discussions we seem to be having about ADHD. It has grown into a very hot topic over the past couple of years, and for some of us, it seems to have even begun sneaking into our “recommended videos” and across our news feeds! Naturally, for the average person this can spur questions like:“Do I have ADHD? Do we all have it? How can I be certain either way, and what do I do if I find myself relating to most of the symptoms that I'm seeing discussed?”Granted that there is a whirlpool of information circulating around this hot topic, I was hoping to spend a bit of time clearly outlining the disorder for anyone finding themselves curious. I believe that can best be achieved through outlining a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand definition of what ADHD is; outlining what it is not; and helping people sift through the fact and the fiction. As with many important things we see discussed on the internet, we're seeing is that there is much more fiction than fact. Arreaza: I'm so glad you chose this topic! I think it is challenging to find reliable information about complex topics like ADHD. Tik Tok, Instagram and Facebook are great social media platforms, but we have to admit that fake news have spread like a fire in recent years. So, if you, listener, are looking for reliable information about ADHD, you are in the right place. With ADHD, there aren't any obvious indicators, or rapid tests someone can take at home to give themselves a reliable “yes” or “no” test result. People's concerns with ADHD are valid, and important to address, so we will discuss the steps to identify some of signs and symptoms they are seeing on TikTok or their favorite podcaster. Steph: Healthcare anxiety is a vital factor to consider when it comes to large cultural conversations around our minds and bodies; so, I hope to sweep away some of the misconceptions and misinformation floating around about ADHD. In doing so, I want to help alleviate any stress or confusion for anyone finding themselves wondering if ADHD is impacting their lives! We might even be able to more accurately navigate these kinds of “viral topics” (for lack of a better term) next time we see them popping up on our news feeds.Arreaza: The first thing I want to say about ADHD is “the crumpled paper sign.”Steph: What is that?Arreaza: It is an undescribed sign of ADHD, I have noticed it, and it is anecdotal, not evidence based. When I walk into a room to see a pediatric patient, I have noticed that when the paper that covers the examination table is crumpled, most of the times it is because the pediatric patient is very active. Then I proceed to ask questions about ADHD and I have been right many times about the diagnosis. So, just an anecdote, remember the crumpled paper sign.  Steph: When you have patients coming to you asking for stimulants because they think they have ADHD, hopefully, after today, you can be better prepared to help those patients. So, for the average person—anyone wanting to be sure if this diagnosis applies to them—how can we really know?”Arreaza: So, let's talk about diagnosis.Steph: Yes, the clearest information we have is the DSM-5, which defines these disorders, as well as outlines the specific criteria (or “checkpoints”) one needs to meet to be able to have a formal diagnosis. However, this manual is best utilized by a trained professional—in this case, a physician—who can properly assess your signs and symptoms and give you a clear answer. Steph: ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. That is not to say it does not affect adult—it does—and because it can be easy to miss, it's very possible for someone to have ADHD without knowing. Arreaza: I recently learned that ADD is an outdated term. Some people with ADHD do not have hyperactivity but the term still applies to them. Steph: Yes, there are multiple types that I will explain in just a bit. But overall the disorder is most simply characterized by a significant degree of difficulty in paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, or in being overly active in a way that the individual finds very difficult to control. (CDC)Arreaza: How common is ADHD?Steph: The most recently published data from The CDC estimates that 7 million (11.4%) of U.S. children between the ages of 3 and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD. For adults, it is estimated that there are 15.5 million (6%) individuals in the U.S. who currently have ADHD. Arreaza: I suspected it would be more than that. [Anecdote about Boy Scout camp]. Steph: I totally agree. With short videos on TikTok, or paying high subscription fees to skip ads, it feels like as a society we all have a shorter attention span. Arreaza: Even churches are adapting to the new generation of believers: Shorter sermons and shorter lessons.Steph: When it comes to better understanding these numbers, it's also important to know that there are three distinct presentations of ADHD recognized by The CDC and The World Health Organization. Arreaza: The DSM-5 TR no longer uses the word “subtypes” for ADHD. Instead, it uses the word "presentation" to describe the different ways that ADHD may manifest in a person. That reminded me to update my old DSM-5 manual and I ordered it while reading today about ADHD. This means people with ADHD are no longer diagnosed as having a “subtype”. Instead, they are diagnosed with ADHD and a certain “presentation” of symptoms.Steph: These presentations are:Inattentive TypePeople often have difficulty planning or completing tasksThey find themselves easily distracted (especially when it comes to longer, focus-oriented tasks)They can often forget details and specifics, even with things that are part of their daily routineThis used to be referred to as “ADD” (you'll notice the absence of an “H”, segue).Hyperactive-Impulsive TypePeople often have a sense of intense “restlessness”, noticeable even in calm environments.They tend to be noticeably more talkative, and might often be seen interrupting others, or finishing their sentences.They find significant difficulty in being still for extended periods. Because of this, they are often unable to sit through a movie or class time, without fidgeting or getting up and moving around.With this category of ADHD, we often see an impulsiveness that unwittingly leads to risky behavior. Because of this, accidents and bodily injury are more common in individuals with this type of ADHD.Combined TypeThese are individuals who exhibit symptoms from both “Inattentive” and “Hyperactive-Impulsive” ADHD equally.Some listeners might have noticed that the categories are quite different, meaning that ADHD presents in different ways depending on the person! Two people who have ADHD can be in the same room and have vastly different presentations, whilst still having many of the same types of challenges. You also might have noticed what makes the discussion so interesting to the general public, which is also the thing that makes speaking to a professional to get formally tested so important:The diagnostic criteria rely heavily on patterns of behavior, or external variables; rather than on how a person might feel, or certain measurements taken from lab tests.Arreaza: Diagnosing ADHD requires evaluation by a professional who is properly trained for this. Fortunately, we have tools to assist with the diagnosis. The attention deficit must be noted in more than one major setting (e.g., social, academic, or occupational), that's why the information should be gathered from multiple sources, including parents, teachers, and other caregivers, using validated tools, such as:The Neuropsychiatric EEG-Based ADHD Assessment Aid (NEBA), recommended by the American Academy of NeurologyThe Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS) and the Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Teacher Rating Scale (VADTRS), recommended by the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.For adults: The validated rating scales include the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and the Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS).Steph: This is important because nearly everyone alive has experienced several, if not most, of these behavioral patterns at least once. Whether or not an individual has ADHD, I'm certain we could all think of moments we've had great difficulty focusing or sitting still. Perhaps some of us are incredibly forgetful, or act more impulsively than the average person might find typical. Getting a professional diagnosis is important because it is in skillfully assessing “the bigger picture” of a person's life, or their patterns of behavior, that a skilled physician, who understands the nuances and complexities in these disorders, can properly tell each of us whether we have ADHD, or not.Essentially, most of us could stand to use a bit more focus these days, but far fewer of us would meaningfully benefit from the kinds of treatments and therapies needed by individuals with ADHD to live healthier, more happy and regulated lives.Arreaza: I had a mother who came to discuss the results of the Vanderbilt Questionnaire. I think she left a little disappointed when she heard that, based on the responses from her and the teacher, her son did not have ADHD. Some kids may have behaviors such as being distracted during a meeting, forgetting about homework or having a lot of energy, but that does NOT mean necessarily that they have ADHD, right?Steph: Absolutely! The important thing to remember here is that these patterns of behavior outlined in the DSM-5 are merely an external gauge for a neurological reality. What the science is showing us is that the brains of people with ADHD are wired differently than that of the more “neurotypical” brain. Much like a check engine light would serve as a signal to a driver that something under the hood needs attention; these patterns of behavior, when they begin impeding our day to day lives, might tell us that it's time to see a professional (whether it be an auto mechanic or a trained physician). I think we all know someone who drives with their check engine light and not a care in the world. Arreaza: How serious/urgent is ADHD? Why should we care to make the diagnosis?Steph: Although we've yet to see anyone incur harm solely from having ADHD, it does lead to quite a range of more serious issues, some of which might prove more urgent. In the cases of ADHD, specifically, what we know is that there is a notable degree of dysregulation in some key neurotransmitters, like dopamine and norepinephrine. More plainly, what we are seeing in the brains of people with ADHD is a disruption, or alteration, of some of the brain's key chemicals.These neurotransmitters are largely responsible for much-needed processes like Motivation, Satisfaction, Focus, Impulse control, even things like energy and feelings of happiness. Many of these things serve as “fuel” for our day-to-day lives; things we'd call our “executive function”.  These are also what prove dysfunctional in those struggling with ADHD. It is in this sense that we might be able to bridge a meaningful gap between ADHD as being seen through patterns of behaviorthat signal a real, neurological reality.Steph: We often hear of the brain referenced as a kind of supercomputer. A more accurate assessment might be that the brain is more of a network of interconnected computers that run different processes and require continual communication with one another for our brain to function properly and seamlessly. What we're seeing in members of the population with this diagnosis, is a significant disruption in these lines of communication. Although this is a very broad oversimplification, for the purposes of our metaphor is to think of it like our brain chemicals getting caught in a traffic jam, or parts of our brain attempting to communicate to one another with poor cell signal. Arreaza: Making the diagnosis is critical to start treatment because having that level of dysfunction sounds like having a very difficult life.Steph: Yeah! I think that's why this conversation matters so much. There's a sense of urgency there, because much of life is, in fact, boring. Things like paying bills, exercising and eating well, work and school—these are all things that are vital to health and wellbeing in day-to-day life; and for the more neurotypical brain, these things might prove occasionally challenging. Yet, they are still doable. For those with ADHD however, this goes far beyond mere boredom or “laziness” (which proves to be a trigger term for many—more on that in just a bit).For folks listening, I wanted to offer some statistics that show why this is such a big concern for the public, whether one has a formal ADHD diagnosis or not. The facts are figures are:Children with ADHD are more than five times as likely as the child without ADHD to have major depression.A significant increase in the prevalence of anxiety is seen in ADHD patients, ranging from 15% to 35%, when accounting for overlap in symptoms.There are significant correlations in youth diagnosed with ADHD, and those diagnosed with what are known as “externalizing disorders”. These are things like Conduct Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.We are seeing a much higher rate of academic problems in kids who have ADHD, like reading disorder, impaired verbal skills, and visual motor integration.We're finding that many, if not most, of these connections are being made after diagnosis. In the case of the “internalized disorders”, like depression and anxiety, we're often seeing years between ADHD diagnoses and the diagnoses of major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders. Given this framework, much of the data is theorized to point towards what we call “negative environmental circumstances”, otherwise known as “ADHD-related demoralization”.For children, this often looks like struggling with sitting still during class, failing to get homework done (because they forgot, or couldn't focus on the tasks at hand), and struggling to focus their attention on what their teacher is saying during lecture. These things often lead to bad grades, discipline or forced time sitting still in detention. This can be seen in more problems at home, with children being disciplined often for behavior that they struggle immensely to control.For adults, this can mean forgetting to pay your bills, missing work meetings, having trouble making appointments, or having difficulty with day-to-day tasks, really anything that requires sustained attention. We often see adults with ADHD who are chasing normalcy with caffeine addictions or even struggling with substance use. Arreaza: Substance use disorder actually can be a way for some people living with ADHD to self-treat their symptoms. Steph: These differences between the individual's experience and the world around them can lead to really powerful feelings of failure or inadequacy. They can affect your social life, your sense of community, and even further limit your capacity to seek help.Literacy in these things is so important—not just for the individual who feels that they may have ADHD, but also for those who are likely to encounter people with ADHD in their own lives. Understanding why some of these patterns pop up, even those who might not have a formal diagnosis, can go a long way to properly approaching these behaviors with success and with empathy.Arreaza: Learning about ADHD is fundamental for primary care doctors. We talked about the high prevalence and the influence of the media in increasing awareness and sometimes increasing public panic. So, we have to be prepared to diagnose or undiagnosed ADHD. Steph: Whether we're the physicians in the room, or the patient in the chair, I think it's important to have a clear understanding of what ADHD is and how it can affect lives.

In today's episode, we're discussing the very recent, sad scandal involving Josh Buice, G3 Ministries' now-former president. According to G3, Josh had been using anonymous X accounts and Substacks in order to slander other Christians, pastors, and even his fellow elders at Pray's Mill Baptist Church. We go over some of the alleged accounts he used as well as G3's response in canceling its annual conference.

Today, we're chatting with Dr. Adam Urato, a fetal and maternal medicine specialist, to discuss the lack of informed consent given to pregnant women concerning certain medications they're taking, namely SSRI antidepressants. Dr. Urato tells us about the crucial role serotonin plays in fetal development and the negative effects that SSRI use in pregnancy can have on an unborn baby. We also discuss the increase in medical interventions in pregnancy in recent decades and how these interventions may not be as positive as they seem. And is the pharmaceutical industry to blame for doctors' lack of concern over SSRI use? This episode is brought to you by Olive, the app built for the MAHA movement.

Today, we have Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, here to break down the ongoing tariffs with China and other countries and to bring some sense to what's happening with Trump's trade deals. We also talk about the Trump administration bringing refugees over from South Africa, despite the Left's outrage over the deportations of illegal migrants. But will these weekend victories help Trump's approval ratings? And while certain state bills are stalled or on the floor, Ron shares some valuable advice and recommendations for voters who wish to talk to their representatives about their concerns.

In today's episode, we're discussing the Trump administration's insistence on remaining on the wrong side of the abortion debate with its defense of allowing the abortion pill to be accessible online and via mail. We go over the DOJ's arguments, especially in light of a recent study that showed the abortion pill is far more deadly than the FDA previously advertised. We also discuss a recent undercover investigation by Live Action that showed Planned Parenthood's willingness to give "cross-sex hormones" to minors without parental consent. Later, we sit down with Abby Johnson to talk about the recent bill in Texas that would have criminalized abortion ... had pro-life groups not stopped it in its tracks.

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Priya, Ava, and Anaid dive deep into the roots of our toxic culture. Together, they explore the roles that disconnection, collective trauma, and survival-driven conditioning play in shaping the way we live and relate.  Is our detachment from nature part of the problem? Could it be that our nervous systems — biologically wired for survival — are still operating in modes of protection, fueling cycles of fear and burnout? Or is there a missing piece we've yet to uncover?   Relevant links and resources:   Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind  by Yuval Noah Harari The Molecule of More by Daniel Z.

Today, we're talking about a crunchy mom influencer, known as "Rose Uncharted" on Instagram, who recently deconstructed from Christianity and started sharing New Age ideas and beliefs. This is not to shame her but rather to draw attention to the false teachings and bad theologies that can influence even the most scrupulous people. We go over her past posts about motherhood and health and detail how she slowly spiraled into the unbiblical idea of a "Christ consciousness." Of course, this idea has been around for decades, but that doesn't stop people from claiming that it's a new idea. And we refute all of these ideas of a "Christ consciousness" with the truth found in scripture.  This episode was sponsored by Olive, the app built for the MAHA movement.

Toxic cultures are habitual. There are a lot of internet complaints about toxic bosses. It's good that toxic culture are called out but it's not because of bad peope. Most of the “toxic” bosses are good people with toxic habits. These are the things that form over time as a result of repeated small issues. It's easy to get caught up in a culture when people just expect things to be that way. It leads to plenty of miscommunication, unhealthy practices, and ultimately, burnout. It's important regardless of your role in an organization that you identify toxic habits before they fully form. We'll all have toxic moments in our lives where we make mistakes or the people around us do things we don't like. But it's the habits that count. Generous workplace culture is built by creating healthy habits but also an intentional dismissal of the toxic habits. Less is more. This episode will breakdown 8 of the most prominent toxic habits to identify an eliminate. Have a generous rest of the week.

Today, we're sitting down with our friend Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire to talk about all things Catholicism. He explains the current papal conclave and the process to elect a new pope, and he breaks down the most likely candidates for the position. We also talk about the controversy online surrounding the recent post by President Trump of an AI-generated image of himself as the pope. True to form, the Left just couldn't resist being hypocrites about it. And we discuss a recent state law that would require Catholic priests to break the sacrament of confession and what this means for the church.

Welcome to Episode 28: ‘DiagNOsis' Reawakened. In this episode, Kirsten re-releases her take on traditional medical models of mental health, featuring insights from Gabor Mate's recent talk on Trauma, Illness, and Healing, in a Toxic Culture. Kirsten exposes the limitations of mental disorder diagnostics and inspiring us to transcend these labels. Embracing a holistic approach to wellness, she invites us to think of one another's emotional states in the context of our unique life journeys, rather than simply categorizing them as 'disordered'. Get ready to unlock your power to rise above suffering, by viewing your emotions as sensations you experience, not as traits you possess.

Today, we're answering a question posed by a recent viral video: Do stay-at-home mothers need to be intellectually stimulating? Or is this idea just rooted in girlboss feminism? We share some insight and also give some tips on how to answer your kids' hard theological questions. And Christianity Today editor in chief Russell Moore is back with another article about toxic empathy, but he still fails to square it with Christian morality. Lastly, the Met Gala is also back with outfits galore, some classy, others not so much, and we're rating the best and worst looks of the night.  Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

In today's episode, we sit down with independent investigative journalist Edwin Dorsey to discuss his recent, disturbing investigation into KinderCare, one of the nation's largest day-care providers. Edwin tells us about how he unearthed evidence of horrible child abuse and neglect, including children escaping day-care centers, staff abandoning children after hours, and one tragic instance of a toddler overdosing on cocaine found in a worker's backpack. And horribly, our tax dollars are funding these day-care centers. We also discuss a similar investigation Edwin published years ago about child-care provider Care.com, where he uncovered that the platform was lying about doing background checks. We also talk about the dangers of Roblox and how the platform isn't actually as safe for kids as it might advertise.

Today, we cover a recent disturbing exposé by the Wall Street Journal showing that Facebook's Meta AI can have explicit conversations with minor user accounts. We go over the lack of reasonable guardrails and talk about how this was allowed to happen in the first place. The internet is already dangerous enough for young children to navigate; we don't need AI chatbots making it worse. And does Mark Zuckerberg want people to use these chatbots as a replacement for friends?

Today, we sit down with investigative journalist and author David Zweig to discuss his new book, "An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions," and how the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 and subsequent closing of schools had lasting effects on an entire generation of children. David tells us about his investigative reporting in the early days of the pandemic and how he came to realize that the mainstream media and the "experts" were lying about almost everything. We also talk about how school closures did almost nothing to slow the spread of the virus and left irreparable and often unseen damage on millions of children across the country. And how did the pandemic get politicized so quickly?

Today, we discuss Trump's proposal to give a $5,000 "baby bonus" to new moms in order to reverse the depopulation crisis. But is this really the best way to address the low fertility rate, or is there a better option? And is the real problem actually the lack of families?

Today, we're talking about a little controversy that got stirred up before Easter, started by none other than Christianity Today, which published an article implying that Jesus was not nailed to the cross. Of course, the editor later issued a correction and apologized, but is it too little, too late? And how did such an article even get published in the first place? Later, we sit down with journalist Bill O'Reilly, host of "No Spin News," to talk about the recently declassified JFK files and whether there was anything new in them. We also get his take on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the alleged MS-13 gang member recently deported, and why the Democrats have seemed to rally around him.

Today, we're discussing the ongoing Supreme Court case Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which SCOTUS will be addressing whether or not parents have the right to opt their children out of curriculum featuring storybooks promoting LGBT ideology. The Maryland school board doesn't want to let parents opt out, but parents say this violates their First Amendment rights. Who will SCOTUS side with? And the state of Colorado is back on our radar, and not in a good way, with four new bills that protect abortion care and "gender-affirming health care" that are currently working their way through the legislature. At least some good news came from across the pond with the U.K. Supreme Court ruling that women are, in fact, biological females, and "transgender" women don't fit that description.

Today, we bring you our honest review of the new Angel Studios animated movie "The King of Kings" and break down whether this is a worthy adaptation of the Gospels — or rather, Charles Dickens' interpretation of the Gospels. And is it worth letting your kids watch it, or should parents pass on this one? We also discuss the past weekend's Easter celebrations, which saw Trump coloring with kids at the White House and "American Idol" hosting more of a faith-centric show.

If you've been following Shelby Dennis (aka Milestone Equestrian / @sdeques on social media), you know she doesn't shy away from the hard conversations. She's a passionate advocate for horse welfare, uncovering the harsh realities of the horse industry, and pushing for real change. Shelby is a professional horse trainer and equine behavior consultant with over 24 years of experience across multiple disciplines—including Arabian showing, hunter/jumpers, dressage, and even racehorses. She's also taken her education seriously, working toward her Certificate of Equine Science and earning her Equine Behavior Consultant certification through IAABC. Her approach to training has evolved massively over the years, moving away from traditional punishment-based methods toward a more ethical, science-backed way of working with horses. She's an incredible voice in the equestrian space, and I have so much admiration for the work she's doing! In this episode, we dive into:

How would you know if your studio's culture is toxic—before it's too late? In this exclusive conversation, we talk with Charlie Sull, co-founder of CultureX and researcher with MIT, about how to spot, measure, and fix toxic workplace culture—especially in the high-stakes world of game development. Forget ping pong tables and free snacks. Culture is your operating system, and if leaders don't prioritize it, dysfunction spreads fast. We break down: What creates a toxic culture The Toxic Five behaviors that damage morale and hurt retention Why standard employee surveys fail—and what to do instead How AI and Glassdoor data can tell you some hard truths about your company Real stats on game studios vs. other industries—who's getting it right? If you're a studio head, team lead, or future cultural change-maker, this episode will challenge your assumptions and give you new tools to build a better workplace. What You'll Learn: Why culture is more than perks—it's your company's operating system The Toxic Five traits that silently destroy trust and retention How Glassdoor + AI reveal the truth about your team's culture Why top leadership, not HR, is key to lasting culture change What game dev studios like EA and Blizzard can teach us about reform How to apply the Will + Knowledge formula to lead cultural transformation Books & Authors Mentioned (and Must-Reads!) from This Episode The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni        - Focuses on the "heart" vs. "science" sides of business—emphasizing the value of culture Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni        - Referenced for understanding team behavior and dysfunction Works by Charles O'Reilly        - Recommended by Charlie Sull for understanding organizational culture and leadership        - Notable titles include Winning Through Innovation and Lead and Disrupt Research & insights from CultureX (Charlie Sull's organization)        - Practical tools and AI-driven metrics for measuring and improving workplace culture

Today, we're sitting down with Justin Haskins, president of Our Republic and senior fellow at the Heartland Institute, to discuss all of the new developments with the Great Reset and how things don't seem to be going the way the elites wanted after Trump's election. We also talk about some of the ideological shifts we've noticed in Silicon Valley and why these changes are happening. Justin also tells us about a strange phenomenon called the “singularity” when it comes to AI and what this means for us. We also talk about the EU ESG law that we spoke of a while back and how Trump's election seems to have thrown a wrench in that as well.  Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

Today, we sit down with Dr. Sean McDowell, professor, apologist, and author, to discuss all things Holy Week. We talk about the proof of the existence of Jesus but also refute the claim that Jesus wasn't crucified. We also talk about whether or not Christians should be celebrating Passover and other Jewish holidays as well as the ongoing debate over whether Easter is actually pagan in nature. Dr. McDowell also answers some apologetics questions for us and gives some advice on how to look for our own spiritual blind spots in our walks with God.

Today, we're wading into classic "Relatable" territory with a breakdown of speaking in tongues, after we sparked some controversy with a recent reaction to a video of a young woman praying in tongues. We go over the biblical accounts of speaking in tongues and how these should apply to the church and to Christians. Later, we talk about Karmelo Anthony's release on bond after it was reduced from $1 million to $250,000. We discuss the judge and speculate about her motivations.

Today, we're breaking down the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE, Act that recently passed the House, which sent the Left into a tailspin over the weekend. They're claiming that married women won't be able to register to vote anymore, but is that actually true? We unpack everything, and don't worry — if you're married, you can still vote. In other, more tragic news, yet another innocent baby was mauled to death by a vicious pit bull, this time in Ohio. Never mind that the ferocious beast spent its whole life as a loved family pet.

Today, we sit down with Kallie Fell, the executive director of the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network, to talk about bioethics (or lack thereof) in the assisted reproduction industry. We talk about everything from the lack of long-term health tracking for surrogate mothers and egg sellers to the predatory, exploitative marketing that encourages and exploits these women into selling their DNA and bodies. Kallie tells us about the lack of research into the health effects of IVF and surrogacy and how the little research we have doesn't exactly paint the fertility industry in a positive light. We also discuss some other countries that have banned surrogacy to varying degrees and how we would like to see the United States follow suit in order to protect moms and babies.

In today's episode, we're discussing the heartbreaking story of the death of high school track student Austin Metcalf at the hands of alleged suspect Karmelo Anthony. We go over the details of what happened, and while we don't know why Karmelo allegedly stabbed Austin, we do know that killing someone for mere words is never justifiable. That didn't stop social media from jumping to conclusions about Austin, even going so far as to call him a white supremacist and saying he deserved to be stabbed with absolutely no evidence. We also talk about what duties Christians have when it comes to forgiveness, and we are praying for the families affected by this terrible tragedy.

In today's episode, we're discussing a little controversy we sparked recently over the prosperity gospel being prevalent in many majority-black churches across the country. We correct the record on what was said and bring the statistics to back us up. Lucky for us, there are plenty of black speakers and authors who are saying the same thing, despite what the race-baiters want you to believe. And Greta Gerwig, director of "Barbie" and "Little Women," is coming out with a new film adaptation of C.S. Lewis' "Narnia," and — oh no, is she really tapping Meryl Streep to play Aslan?

Today, we sit down with Elizabeth Coleman, author and former cult member, to hear her story and testimony of how she came to Christ. Elizabeth tells us about growing up in the cult with no name — but one that ex-members call the Two-by-Twos — and how she was conditioned from a young age to fear Christianity and other Christians. She shares how members of the Two-by-Twos believe that their beliefs are the only way to Jesus, but in fact, the cult was started in the late 1800s, not the first century. Elizabeth tells us how she met her husband at 17 and slowly started to question her beliefs throughout university, ultimately leaving the cult for the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Today, we're talking about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race that just ended with liberal Judge Susan Crawford defeating conservative Brad Schimel and what this means for Republican lawmakers in the state. Despite this, Wisconsin voters also overwhelmingly voted in favor of enshrining voter ID laws into their state constitution. We also talk about a bizarre trend going around right now about pregnancy robots and whether science is truly going too far when it comes to fertility medicine.

In today's episode, we continue our conversation from last week about letting kids do things on their own to help build their confidence, and boy, were people mad, so we had to revisit the topic. After all, we want to encourage bravery, not paranoia, in our children. We also talk about whether parents should allow their kids to attend sleepovers or not, and our views might surprise you. Also, we're discussing the leaked training video out of Andy Stanley's North Point Community Church for youth group leaders about LGBTQ youth in middle school and how they ought to respond. Spoiler alert: It's not biblical. And is the White House going too far with its bizarre social media messaging about deportations? Or is it just capitalizing on trending memes?

Today, we sit down with author and apologist Natasha Crain to discuss her new book, "When Culture Hates You: Persevering for the Common Good as Christians in a Hostile Public Square," and how Christians need to equip themselves to answer whatever questions culture hurls at them. We discuss how parents need to be more active in discipling their children to prepare them for the modern culture. We also ask the question of what having a biblical worldview actually means, and Natasha gives us some insight on how Christians can uphold their biblical principles in an increasingly hostile public square.

In today's episode, White House faith adviser and heretical prosperity gospel "preacher" Paula White is trending yet again, this time for encouraging her followers to "honor God" during Passover ... by donating upwards of $1,000 to her ministry. We have a biblical response to Paula and her message. And the kids are not all right since the new generation has absolutely fried their dopamine receptors with technology. We're not talking about teenagers; children as young as five are being handed tablets by their parents, who simply don't want to do the hard things. Lastly, we have a special guest on to discuss a new, disturbing trend on TikTok called SkinnyTok and how it is disturbingly close to the body-shaming and glorification of eating disorders that were so popular in the early 2000s.

Today, we're reacting to the trailer for the sixth and final season of the Left's favorite show, “The Handmaid's Tale,” and as badly as the Left wants the show to be about abortion, it's actually closer to modern-day surrogacy. Not that anyone wants to talk about that. Later, we have Newsweek senior editor at large Josh Hammer on to discuss all the things going on in politics right now. We talk with Josh about Trump ending family planning grants, potentially cutting Planned Parenthood's federal funding, the revocation of green cards for pro-Hamas protesters, and the embarrassing debacle of the Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg getting accidentally added to a Signal chat where Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, and others in the Trump administration discussed planned bombings in Yemen. Oops. Josh also tells us about his new book, "Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West," and the importance of Israel in the defense of Western civilization.

Today, we're discussing all things Department of Education — what it is, what it does, and what President Trump's executive order dismantling it means for both the department's own future as well as for you and your family. Secretary Linda McMahon is overseeing the downsizing of the department, but don't worry, school lunches, special education programs, and student loans aren't going anywhere. We also talk about soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo waiting for a "click" with his longtime girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez, before he proposes to her. Never mind that they've been together for more than five years. Of course, this is only a symptom of a larger "forever girlfriend" trend we're seeing, and we don't like it. And lastly, we talk about the season finale of the show "Severance" and what it all really means. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas! Go to sharethearrows.com for tickets now!

Today, we're excited to sit down with Nicole Shanahan, lawyer, philanthropist, founder of the Bia-Echo Foundation, and RFK Jr.'s former running mate, to discuss her faith journey and conversion to Christianity after the loss of her unborn child to miscarriage. She tells us about her journey on the campaign trail and how she lost friends and supporters over her political stance. We also talk about some "right-wing" vaccine conspiracy theories and how some of them might not be as far-fetched as they might seem. Nicole tells us about the "tech wife mafia" in Silicon Valley and how these women and Hollywood have changed progressive culture for the worse.

Today, we're giving an update on Robert Morris, Gateway Church's former pastor and popular televangelist, who was recently charged with lewd or indecent acts with a child. Morris formally pleaded “not guilty” to the charges and was released on bond. We discuss what's next and how Christians should view this story. Then, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing stepped down this week — what's really going on, and what does it mean for the conservative media landscape?

From his upbringing with a pro-life advocate mother to his college days at Westmont, Seth shares how his passion for life began. We also discuss the impact of Roe v. Wade's overturn and how Seth launched the White Rose Resistance to reignite Christian activism against the culture of death that has claimed over 63 million lives.

Today we hear the powerful testimony of Jac Marino Chen, who shares her incredible journey from the darkness of the occult to the light of the gospel. Jac opens up about her early experiences with trauma and supernatural encounters, which led her to New Age practices and, eventually, the occult. She describes the deep darkness she lived in while practicing ritual magic and how the love and power of Jesus Christ saved her. Jack's story is a testament to the fact that no one is ever too far gone to be reached by the grace of God.  Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

In today's episode, we sit down with Costi Hinn, teaching pastor at Shepherd's House Bible Church in Chandler, Arizona, about his new book, "Walking in God's Will: Demystify God's Plan for Your Life and Make Decisions with Confidence," and how to discern God's will in your life. Costi goes over his upbringing in the prosperity gospel movement, and we discuss how the reformed and charismatic crowd often misunderstand the gospel. Costi breaks down how to seek God's will for your life through prayer and how to find peace in that process. After all, our sole purpose in this world is to enjoy and serve the Lord.
